Aunt Liu greeted them, "Most of these dishes are from our own ho, all the pesticide-free ones you ntioned."
"You’re too kind." Huo Jincheng could completely feel the family’s warmth.
To welco Lu Xingzhi and Huo Jincheng today, Aunt Liu’s family slaughtered a chicken, a rabbit, and a duck.
Then, they went to town to buy a fish and a pig’s foot.
There were also many hogrown vegetables.
The table was full.
After finishing the al, Lu Xingzhi and Huo Jincheng sat for a while before leaving.
Walking hand in hand on the road, Lu Xingzhi was in a good mood and said, "Uncle, what do you think? We rural folks are very hospitable!"
"Very passionate. This passion is completely reflected at the dining table," Huo Jincheng said.
"Aunt Liu’s cooking skills are quite good." Lu Xingzhi turned to look at Huo Jincheng, "Uncle, thank you for coming back with ."
"What nonsense, haven’t I told you, between us no need for thanks?" Huo Jincheng was displeased by her words.
Back ho, Huo Jincheng went straight to Lu Xingzhi’s room, "Zhi Zhi, I’ll be sleeping here tonight."
"Feel free to choose any room." Lu Xingzhi said generously.
"I saw you had a new piano in the living room. I rember when I ca two years ago, it wasn’t there. But on the day I ca to pick you up, I did see it covered with a white cloth." Huo Jincheng still rembered this detail.
"Yes, when you ca, I hadn’t decided to buy it back yet." Lu Xingzhi uncovered the white cloth, touched the piano lid, "Uncle, this is the piano that truly carries my childhood."
"Was the piano previously sold?" Huo Jincheng noticed that it was bought back and carried childhood mories, so it must have been the case.
"Yes. Back then, grandpa fell ill and needed a lot of money. I secretly sold the city’s apartnt, and then also sold the piano." Lu Xingzhi didn’t regret doing so at all.
Even though grandpa passed away three months after surgery.
But she still had no regrets.
Money is important, but not more important than grandpa.
It’s a good thing that grandpa and grandma didn’t want to move to the city with us, otherwise, the secret would have been up.
"They must be very satisfied to have a granddaughter like you." Huo Jincheng could tell from the occasional stories Lu Xingzhi shared about her family that they were very important to her.
Their bond must have been very deep.
Lu Xingzhi probably didn’t know that when she talked about her family, her eyes sparkled, and she had a smile on her face.
A very happy smile.
"Of course." Lu Xingzhi proudly lifted her chin.
"Uncle, let play you a piece!" Lu Xingzhi sat in front of the piano, "Though this piano is old, the first piece I learned was on this very piano."
"Alright." Huo Jincheng couldn’t refuse.
Lu Xingzhi’s fingers rested on the keys, a slight smile on her lips as she played and sang, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..."
"You play beautifully and sing beautifully too." Huo Jincheng praised.
"This was the first piano piece I learned with my dad." Lu Xingzhi said, her fingers gracefully dancing on the keys again as she played another piece called "Voice of a Young Girl."
"This is a piece my dad wrote for , and I later made so adjustnts. Dad actually wanted to edit it himself, but..."
